As to there being a rift, I feel that this is not so. Kerry would not have seceded so quickly and quietly. Both Kerry and Bush would have taken the same course albeit in different time frames. The goal is to overextend and possibly have American troops deployed on two fronts possibly leading to the destruction of American forces. Had Kerry won, the attack on Iran would have taken longer but it would have happened regardless. Since Bush was allowed to remain, that means that an attack on Iran will be forthcoming shortly. If anything, NWO plans seem to be ahead of schedule.
